Subject: [PATCH v2 01/18] mm/ksw: add build system support
Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2025 08:20:58 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250904002126.1514566-2-wangjinchao600@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250904002126.1514566-1-wangjinchao600@gmail.com>
Add Kconfig and Makefile infrastructure for KStackWatch, a real-time tool
for debugging kernel stack corruption.
The implementation is located under `mm/kstackwatch/`.
